Welcome to my new markdown-based blog! This blog is built using Jekyll and deployed automatically through GitHub Pages.

Why Markdown?

Writing in markdown is simple and clean. You can format text easily:

How to Write Posts

Creating new blog posts is easy:

  1. Create a new file in the _posts folder
  2. Name it with the format: YYYY-MM-DD-post-title.md
  3. Add YAML front matter (the content between the dashes at the top)
  4. Write your content in markdown
  5. Push to GitHub - Jekyll will automatically build and deploy it!

Example Front Matter

layout: post
title: "Your Post Title"

Code Blocks

You can include code blocks like this:

    print("Hello, World!")

Happy blogging!
